Wuhan Century Kingxin Co., Ltd., a professional manufacturer established in 2018 with over 50 employees and an annual export value of US$2.5–5 million, proudly presents our Biodegradable Paper Coffee Cup with Water-Based Barrier Coating. This innovative cup combines the convenience of disposable packaging with genuine environmental responsibility.

Our cups are manufactured in our ISO9001-certified facility in Wuhan, Hubei, China, with strict quality control from raw material to finished product. We ship from major ports including Wuhan, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Ningbo, serving markets across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia. With an overseas office and a dedicated export team, we ensure smooth communication and timely delivery for every order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Are these cups truly compostable? How long does it take?
Yes, they are designed for industrial composting facilities. Under standard conditions (58°C, 60% humidity), they typically degrade within 90 days. Home composting is not recommended due to lower temperatures. Please check local composting guidelines.
Q2: Can I use these cups for cold beverages as well?
Absolutely. The water-based barrier coating works effectively for both hot and cold drinks. For cold beverages, condensation may occur on the exterior; we recommend using a sleeve or double-wall option for insulation.
Q3: Do you offer custom printing? What are the costs?
Yes, we offer full custom printing with up to 6 colors. Setup costs vary depending on artwork complexity. For orders of 50,000+ cups, we typically waive plate fees. Please contact us with your design for a detailed quote.
Q4: Are these cups safe for hot liquids? Will they leak?
Our cups are designed for hot beverages up to 95°C. They undergo rigorous leak testing: filled with 85°C water for 4 hours with no leakage. The coating is FDA-compliant (upon request) and does not contain BPA or phthalates.
Q5: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For plain white cups, MOQ is 10,000 pieces per size. For custom printed cups, MOQ is 50,000 pieces per size. We can discuss smaller quantities for trial orders.
Q6: Do you have any certifications like FSC or BPI?
We are ISO9001 certified. FSC certification is available for the paperboard upon request. BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) certification is pending; we can provide third-party testing reports for compostability. Please inquire for specific certification needs.
Q7: How should I store these cups?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ideal temperature: 15–25°C, humidity below 60%. Properly stored, the cups maintain their quality for up to 24 months.
